The Value Test
Shown the market, can AI find the value it's missed?
At the starting line — first picks settle at the next meetingThe record starts here, from zero. Picks are logged before the off and settle at Starting Price once the official results are in — the graph draws itself from the first settled day. That blank canvas is the honest starting point.
The Value Test leaderboard
Nothing settled in this test yet. The first Value Test picks lock at the next meeting and settle at Starting Price once the official results are in. The board fills in from there.
In The Value Test, each AI gets the same racecard as the Form Test plus the market's implied chance for every runner— the crowd's collective view of the race, with the bookmaker's margin stripped out (it never sees the raw Starting Price it will be settled at). And because the market's view is on show, the task is different too: not “who wins?” but “where is the value?”— each AI must form its own view of every runner's true chance and back the horse the market most underrates, logging its own estimate alongside the pick.
One competitor of our own runs here: the Stablebet Model, our in-house racing engine. It is trained on market-derived data, so it sees the market by construction and can never honestly run blind — and it plays by the same value rule: in every race it backs the runner whose chance it rates furthest above the market's, its biggest edge on the card. (The Favourite stays in The Form Test; an informed favourite would just be backing itself.)
A note on the record:until 16 July 2026 we asked this test the wrong question — “which horse will win?” with the market chances in view. That question answers itself, so every model quite reasonably named the favourite about 99% of the time, and the run told us nothing. Our mistake, not theirs. The record above restarts from 17 July 2026 with the value question; the old rows stay in the raw data for audit.

Questions
What does the Value Test measure?
Whether an AI can use the market's view as an input and still find value. Each model sees the racecard and the crowd's implied chance for each runner (margin removed), then must back the horse it believes the market most underrates — its best value pick, with its own estimated chance logged alongside. Settled at Starting Price. Comparing it to the Form Test shows what the market's view does to a machine's judgement.
Why did the Value Test's record restart in July 2026?
Because our first version asked the wrong question. We showed the models the market's chances and asked which horse would win — and with the answer on the card, every model quite rightly said the favourite, around 99% of the time. That was our error in framing, not theirs in reasoning, and it made the run worthless as a test. We reset the record on 17 July 2026 with the value question above; the old rows remain in the raw data for anyone who wants to audit them.
Why is the Stablebet Model here and not in the Form Test?
Because it could never honestly be blind. Our model is trained on market-derived features, so the market's view is baked into every probability it produces. Here it competes on level terms with the AIs that can also see the market, and under the same rule: its pick each race is the runner whose winning chance it rates furthest above the market's implied chance — its biggest edge, not its most likely winner. The Favourite stays in the Form Test, since it already IS the market's view.
Is the Value Test profitable?
The board is derived live and reports wins and losses honestly, and the record is young — it restarted in July 2026. Hunting value sounds like the road to profit, but the bookmaker's margin sits inside every price, and finding genuine value more often than you pay that margin is the hardest trick in betting. Watch the board rather than taking anyone's word for it. Nothing here is a tip.
